Children these days will never know what it means to buy cheap snacks. Nowadays, biscuits cost at least ₦50 and juice boxes are about ₦100.
Here are some of the old school snacks we ate:

Speedy was that snack everyone rushed to buy during break time. Maybe the best thing about it was the ball-shaped biscuits which I loved to play with before eating.
